    Dr. Carrasquilla has provided me outstanding care. He successfully performed a procedure that had a number of potential side effects, and I did not have any. The same applies to the practitioner nurse. She sent me detailed instructions for my upcoming scans, along with the corresponding appointments. Very happy here!

    Great experience all around!
